The Cessna P210 turbine conversion, known as the Silver Eagle, represents a successful transformation of a pressurized piston aircraft into a turboprop-powered high-performance single. First achieving turbine conversion in 1992, it features a low-wing configuration with an Allison A250 turbine engine and maintains the original six-seat pressurized cabin. With over 114 conversions completed by O&N Aircraft, the Silver Eagle demonstrates cruise speeds exceeding 280 knots at altitudes above 25,000 feet. The conversion program originated from Cessna Aircraft Company's original P210 Centurion platform.
